5 Question Friday!

Good Morning, Friends!It’s the weekend!You can all do your happy dances now.I know I am!Alrighty, on with the 5 question Friday fun.Once again thanks to Mama M. for letting us link up.

1. How long did it take for
you to find your wedding dress? (Wedding dress pics anyone?)Well, one day Ms. L and I went to a few
shops and looked at some dresses (there was one I particularly liked) but I
didn’t have the money to buy any yet so it was mere looking. Then I went with my Mama, Daddy, My friend Ms.
A. and Ms. L.And the wedding dress gods
were on my side that day, because we were there only a few hours and I found my
dress.It fit perfectly and was even the
perfect length.NO alterations
necessary!And to top it all off it was
on sale for 200.00!!! Tell me that ain’t the best thing?!

My Dad was
sooooo funny.When I tried that one on
and liked it he was all, “yeah, it’s nice.Whatever you want honey”.THEN
when the sales lady said, “Oh the tag is wrong.It says 500, but this gown was actually just put on sale for 200.Dad was like, “that’s the one!Wrap it up.We’ll take it!” Hahahahaha!!Of
course my Mama was more conscious of my feelings and said, “Ms. T, if this isn’t
THE dress we’ll keep looking.”But it
was THE dress.

2. Someone in your general vicinity releases
a NASTY smelling fart. Do you say anything or blow it off?Most of the time I blow it off.Unless it’s the Hubs and we’re alone.Then we joke about it and say ever so loving
things like, “oh my word!!You’re so
nasty!What did you eat?!” Hahaha!

3. What is the scariest thing that happened to you
or scared you recently?Ok, see normal people would say things
like, “a spider jumped out at me”, or “I saw a snake in the yard”, but not me. ‘Cuz,
see I’m a Criminal Minds, Law and Order, The Closer etc. freak.I love those shows.However, I’m also paranoid.These things do not go well together.If I’ve learned anything from these shows it’s to
NEVER talk to strangers.And sometimes its
best not to even talk to people you know.Because you think you know someone and then you accept their invitation
to dinner and then find yourself locked in their sound proofed basement with
LOTS of torture devices.It happens ALL
THE TIME, People!Don’t believe me?Watch Criminal Minds, Law and Order, The
Closer etc.You’ll see.Plus don’t you know those shows are pretty
much real life?!

Ok, so all
that to say the scariest thing that has happened to me recently is that I took
the kids on a walk yesterday.We were
just strolling along and this guy calls out to us and wants to ask about the
neighborhood, because he’s just put in an offer on a house in our area.I know, that’s not really all that scary, but
he was driving a panel van.A PANEL VAN,
people!!!Come on!Panel vans are the creepiest vehicle there
is!All the guy would’ve had to do would’ve
been to conk me over the head, drag me and my babies into that panel van and no
one would ever see us again.CREEPY!!!And now you know just
how very paranoid I am.The end.

4. Favorite brand and flavor of ice cream.I don’t really have a favorite brand of
ice cream.I’m an equal opportunity ice
cream kinda gal.Flavor wise I’d
probably go with the new kind that has chunks of Reese’s cups in it!Mmmmm!Ohh or good ol’ chocolate chip cookie dough.Or maybe some yummy mint chocolate chip!(Notice a pattern? =)

5. Are you able to sleep well in hotels?

It depends, is the place clean? Is the bed
comfy?And am I there alone, or is the
Hubs with me?And does the door face
outwards, or towards an inside hallway?

If the place is clean, the bed is comfy
and I’m with the Hubs, yes I sleep very well in hotel rooms and it doesn’t
matter which way the door faces.However
if I’m alone the door needs to face an inside hallway, the bed needs to be
comfy, and the place needs to be clean.And even with that I may still be uneasy.Give me a break!I’ve just gotten comfortable sleeping in my
OWN HOUSE without the Hubs being there.I watch too may shows like Criminal Minds, Law and Order and The Closer
etc.I know right now you’re thinking, “you
really need to stop watching that stuff”.But have you seen them?!They’re
REALLY good, and to be honest yes they're creepy, but they're helpful for instance you can learn life saving tips…. Come on now think about it. Sure the nightly news will tell you that
someone’s been kidnapped, but do they tell you that you should try and talk to
your captor and get them to recognize you as a human being rather than an
object? NO!They just give you the
facts.Talk about a creepy thing to
watch!Ok, I’ll stop talking about my
crime shows now =).

I hopeyou all have a great,
crime free weekend!!

I just literally LOLed! (technically, I suppose that should be LedOL, right?) Anyway, I am also a member of the Paranoid Criminal Minds Fan Club. My husband is always telling me that I should stop watching it, because I'm pretty convinced there are psychopathic serial killers lurking behind every bush--and that was *before* that show was on the air. I'm not sure I would've stopped to talk to a strange man in a panel van. In fact, in parking lots, I won't park next to any sort of big, enclosed vehicle like that--too easy to just be snagged inside with no one the wiser, and who wants their last minutes of life to be spent at Wal-Mart or something?
